Movie Tavern by Marcus

Food runner

May 2022 • Covington, LA

What I liked

Managers and most of the other workers were very nice and always willing to help. Fun place to work with good benefits (free movies, drinks, and discounted food).

What I wish was different

Working in different areas. Mostly did the same job everyday, some variation would've been nice.

Advice

This is a great first job and summer job. Just expect to work late when you have the afternoon shift.

The work was pretty rough and it gets really hot in the kitchens.

What I liked

I liked the casual work atmosphere, and my coworkers were fun people to work with.

What I wish was different

I wish we hadn't been so understaffed all the time, and I wish the managers would have been on the same page at the same time. I also feel like I didn't get paid enough, even with tips.

Advice

Figure out what strategies work best for you, as this is a very fast-paced work environment where quick decisions need to be made.

What I liked

It is a different experience as a server because it is also a movie theater and restaurants, so the insight into the difficulties of a job like this makes me relate to others who would trouble to make it with low wage jobs.
